Earl grey infused date and almond treats

I'm almost embarrassed to write this recipe it is so simple, but hey, I can't do complex all the time, can I?

I noticed I had a surfeit of dates in my cupboard. They're normally lurking in case I fancy cooking sticky toffee pudding. So this time, I fancied doing something a bit different with the dates and wanted a quick and easy snack with a sweet kick so this is how this recipe came about.100ml earl grey tea cold300g dates stones removed100g unsalted almondsInfuse the dates in the earl grey for 2-3 hoursDrain the dates and place in a food processor with the almonds, reserve about 5 - 10ml of the teaPulse the dates till they resemble a rough pasteAdd about 5ml of the tea to loosen the mixture somewhat but it needs to be relatively stiff and pulse some moreRoll into small ballsYou can add some variety to this recipe by rolling the balls in desiccated coconut, cocoa powder or sesame seeds.
